| "Although
SANE programs have proliferated over the past several
years and now number nearly 100 nationwide, details
about how these alternative services were developed
have been missing in the literature. In this article,
two recently established SANE programs are studied in
depth to reveal how rape crisis centers in different
communities created these services. Factors associated
with the successful implementation of these SANE programs
included (a) strong organizational history, (b) use
of sexual assault councils and task forces, (c)
affiliation with larger organizations, (d) positive
relationships with hospitals, (e) engaging in training
and collaboration with community systems, and (f) strategies
for resolving differences. Implications for the health
care of sexual assault victims are discussed"
(Ahrens, Campbell, Wasco, Aponte, Grubstein, & Davidson,
2000, p. 921).
"Child
protective service (CPS) officials are obligated to
respond to cases of suspected child maltreatment.
They evaluate the validity of complaints, perform
risk assessments of families, monitor cases, and develop
and implement family service plans (National Research
Council, 1993; cited in Burgess & Hamer, 1999).
"However,
the processes that determine CPS response to child
abuse have not attracted much research attention nor
have there been well-designed studies for evaluating
various types of intervention for the child. Research
defining the best interests of the child is becoming
a significant issue in determining the outcomes of
assignment of visitation and custodial rights in court
decisions" (National Research Council, 1993;
cited in Burgess & Hamer, 1999., p. 23).
